Educational Offerings from Birds on the Brink

Located in Harlem, Georgia, the sanctuary is a fun and forever home for birds and other living beings, including a 100-pound tortoise, that are on the endangered or threatened list.

Birds on the Brink supports the community through our education programs, at the sanctuary, in schools, libraries and communities throughout the region. Our Educational Goal is to offer an immersive, multi-sensory strategy allowing visitors to have their own unique experience, and what better way is there to learn? We are confident that if we can “Excite a Child’s Curiosity" to discover, imagine, explore and express their experience, we will have helped awaken their potential. Birds on the Brink empowers children to become responsible environmental stewards through active, engaging, educational experiences. Our educational experiences have been created to support the Georgia Standards of Excellence. It has diverse offerings for grades K to 12. From guided explorations to school presentation experiences, or we can create an experience that will fit your student learning outcomes.
